Since the last post, I had a couple more commissions trickle in, and I was able to squeeze one of my own dolls in while working on them! So today I have for showing the redo on a Goblin Tales Mossling in fall colors as his body blush flaked off, and the face up on my Dream Valley Ann.
Without further ado, onto some pictures under the read more break!

I managed to work my way through two face ups the past few days as the weather wasn't always ideal. But at least I did manage to work on a Dollshe Saint SA and a Fairyland Chicline Inu! They were both very different ideas (and sizes!) and I had fun with both. Only a small post today!
Now without further ado, onto some pictures under the read more break! This weekend I was able to finish both the modded Doll Leaves Laura, and the repaint on the Dollmore Dollpire Shiloh along with her hands. I'm pleased with both their end results! The DS Laura I first modded fangs onto (quite a feat with how small the head is!) and then gave her a face up. That head is literally the size of a grape! The Dollmore Shiloh needed a full body and head wipe, a restringing, manicure, face up, and I restored her 10 year old fullset wig.
Without further ado, onto some pictures under the read more cut! Well I haven't gotten as much done as usual, but I was able to squeeze in one of my own dolls, my Dollzone Daomiao-2, to teach a friend of mine how to face up. They did their first face up ever with just a little guidance from me (I only helped here and there, most they did by themselves!), and I'm really proud of them for taking the plunge! Sadly I don't have pictures of their face up, but I can show mine at least.
Pictures and more under the cut! I've been a busy busy bee since the last time I posted. I managed to paint a Blythe head, a Figma tiny custom doll (twice), and a Volks YoSD Chinatsu, all different themes! The Blythe was an artist choice face up, the Figma got an elf ear mod and a cute anime-type face up, and the Volks became a cute little freckled girl.
Without further ado, onto some pictures under the cut! I've made great headway on a huge multipart commission these past two weeks! I painted 3 Dollzone Dale critters on the creature body in different themes. They each got a fantasy face up and body blush. I'm quite proud of them! I wanted to wait to post them all together until I had them all painted. I finally finished them up yesterday. Either way, both the client and I are pleased! Without further ado, onto some pictures! So here we have the different themed Dollzone Dales! Air, Water, and Earth respectively. I was given pretty much free reign within those themes, though the client did want magic symbols/tattoos on them, so I created some! I went a little overboard with the details, but I think they were well worth the effort. I might make them some fitting eyes for their themes, but for now I need a break from working on Dollzone Dale, heh. Next up is a Dollshe Saint on the Hound body, I might even be able to start on him tomorrow!
That's all from me for now, until next time! Since I have run out of commissions, and don't have any new ones lined up, I've been redoing my own dolls. That's something I need to periodically do anyway, heh. This past week I had my Soom Beyla/Glot/Eliv with a Peapod Doll mermaid tail, and April Story Betty along with her hands on my work desk to be repainted. Without further ado, onto some pictures! So here we have my April Story Betty as well as her hands. Her hands had gotten horribly chipped since the last time I painted them. The blue french tip was a last minute decision, but I'm glad I did! Her face acquired two more piercings since last time (yes, I do applied piercings and can even imbed them in the resin if so requested), and her eyebrows are lighter to match her new wig! A quick comparison of her last and current face up. Her scar is less red this time, but still there. It simply looks more healed than previously. If you'd like to see a picture of her with her wig, I have one in the Owner Gallery! Next up is my Soom Beyla OE/human head in cream white. She's a little siren girl, so scales were a must! She was quite the restoration process. I'm at least her 3rd owner, and for some parts I'm at least the 4th. Her body is a Soom Glot torso with Soom Eliv arms and ears, and a Peapod Doll mermaid tail that I later uncovered to be a sakura pink color AND one of 2 with a fade from dark butt to lighter fin in this color! What a special little girl! I scored her on the DoA MP for a good price. She was double painted (as in she was painted once, and then painted over again without removing the previous paint job), and boy was that annoying to remove. First things first, I took her apart (some of her joints were glued together from acrylic paint...) and threw her to soak in some 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. I started with the little bowl to clean her torso of the caked on paint and the glitter. After much scrubbing I got at least her torso clean. Her hands were still with a lot of paint on them, so I left them to soak longer. I quickly realized she'd need to soak fully in alcohol for at least 24 hours to remove the remaining paint. So I did that. I poured 500ml of alcohol into some tupperware and put all her painted tail pieces in there. So here my suspicion of her fin being pink was confirmed! Under the hot pink and white paint was a layer of purple and gold. The purple and gold paint sadly stained her a little in places, but that's nothing I can't hide with the new blush job! After 1.5 days of soaking in 99.9% isopropyl alcohol, she was finally as clean as I was going to be able to get her. I replaced all the elastic in her and restrung her. She can do some cute things with her tail! Her face up is above obviously, but I haven't documented her body blush yet. So here she is all painted and refreshed! I slathered her in Aztec Gold PearlEx shimmer pigment after blushing her with reds. Please excuse the cruddy cell phone picture, my camera on my phone is getting dated...
The clothing is just spare stuff I had laying around, but the wig is hers and the eyes I specially made for her too. I wanted her to shimmer between gold and red as her parents are a Siren and a Fire Elemental. I think she suits them both! I'm so glad I got her after all as I'd been eyeing her on the MP for a few weeks already, trying to talk myself out of her. But I've wanted a YoSD mermaid for years now and was super sad when Peapod Doll closed... Either way, all's good! That's all from me for now, until next time! I managed to crank out another face up this past weekend, on a Vani Dolls Hugh in white skin. He was definitely an interesting sculpt to work on due to his 4 mouth pieces. He belongs to a dear friend of mine, and they have a love for smokey eyes and bold eyebrows, a wonderful style to work in! Without further ado, onto some pictures! So there he is! I had surprisingly more fun than I thought I would with painting the mouthpieces. I don't know why one my favorite is! I even made him some small iris acrylic eyes as his eye openings are so dang small. The parts I'm most proud of are the eyebrows!
Either way, this is all from me for now! Gonna share a project with you guys at a later time. Until next time! Finally managed to finish my last commission on hand, a set of 1/4 scale 3D printed Pipas. Each one had a different theme, and got hand painted. The 3D printed material tends to be less forgiving than resin when mistakes are made, so I had to extra concentrate with them! But anyway, without further ado, onto some pictures! So here are the three. First is white and blue with a rose pattern on the back. Second is brown and gold with a butterfly pattern (my personal favorite). And last, but not least, is the jade and white one, with a cloud pattern. Each one was hand painted without the use of stencils.
A friend handed me one more head to paint, but otherwise my plate is clear! If you've been wanting a face up by my hand, please don't hesitate to message me through the contact page. Until next time! It's been a while since I've posted here, I apologize for my inactivity. It's been a rough couple of weeks, and the weather's been gross too (nothing but rain for 1.5 weeks...). I was able to complete the body blush on the Miracle Doll MSD Girl body, though it's been slow going on the 1/4 scale Pipas. Either way, onto some pictures! So here's the body with it's little bit of blood in choice places. The body is really nicely sculpted, even with the joints being far too smooth, so getting her to not whack herself was a challenge. She was fun to paint, even if most of her paint job won't be visible due to being dressed.
This weekend I plan on finishing at least one of the Pipas I need to paint. If I'm lucky, I'll do two! The weather's been so atrocious, nothing but rain, rain, and more rain... That's all from me for now, until next time! It's been a little bit since I've last posted, sorry about that! I did manage to complete the face up on the Doll Leaves Alisa with the fang mod I did, and I started blushing the Miracle Doll MSD Girl body. Sadly the weather's been crap so it's been slow progress on the body blush and the Pipas. Without further ado, onto some pictures! So here's the Doll Leaves Alisa, in all her vampiric gothic beauty! She was a lot of fun to paint, and her eye makeup shimmers blue. I've really been cranking out gothic face ups lately!
I don't have much more to show or report, as I'm still working on the Miracle Doll MSD girl body and need to seal the Pipas so that I can blush/paint those as well. I'm hopeful the weather is better tomorrow, or within this week so that I can finish up the commissions I have on me currently. That's all from me for now, until next time! First of all, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who partook in my birthday sale, and who has commissioned me outside of it too! You guys rock and make this passion and hobby of mine possible! Anyway, I managed to get a good start on all the commissions I still have currently on me! One is a Doll in Mind Benetia on a Miracel Doll MSD girl body, both in white skin, but I've only got the face up done so far. I also started working on the Doll Leaves Alisa by modding some fangs onto her per the client's request. I managed to finish up the body blush on the Crobidoll R-Line Evolve body in normal skin and sent him and his head back home! Without further ado, onto some pictures! First up is the Crobidoll body, he's an older one so I had to do some extra pink blushing along the hands and neck to make him match better to his newer head. I'm glad he's done and I'm hoping the client will like the work in person too! After getting permission from the client, I also gave his bangs a trim, as they covered his lovely eyes! Then here we have the Doll in Mind Benetia in white skin. She was fun to bloody-up! Her Miracle Doll body will get a similar treatment! The eyes were made by me too (acrylic bases with digitally drawn and then printed irises), now she's extra spooky! Then here's the Doll Leaves Alisa in normal skin with her fang mod so far. She's gonna be a gothic beauty as well! No blood though on her. And last, but certainly not least, are the three 3D printed Pipa instruments I'm going to paint for a client. I assembled them so far and glued everything in place, so now all that's left is sealing and painting!
So much fun work still ahead of me. That's all from me for now, until next time! As the title says, only 2 days remain to partake in the Birthday Sale! Buy one service, get another at 30% off! Also I managed to crank out another commission, this time I repainted a Fairyland PukiFee Luna in tan skin. I matched her eyebrows and eyelashes to her wig, she turned out darling if I may say so. Without further ado, onto some pictures! The wig is a short little curly thing that is absolutely adorable, but I sadly don't have any pictures of it placed against her faceplate with the finished face up. I wasn't sent her eyes so I used the only pair I had in my jar that fit her eye-wells. In other news, I'm nearly completion with the Crobidoll Daydream Lance commission. His torso is mostly blushed, and his hands and feet are also just about done. Next come his arms and legs! No pictures currently as I'd only have some cell phone shots and they really don't show things well.
That's all from me for now, until next time! Despite being sick, I was a busy bee during the times I felt better. I completed two face ups, and received a third to work on yesterday. The heads I worked on were an Angel Philia J/Misa and a Crobidoll Daydream Lance Version 1. The latter of the heads I worked on is getting a full body blush as well, so he's not done quite yet. But anyway, without further ado, onto some pictures! First face up I did is on an Angel Philia J (a.k.a. Misa) head in white skin. The client wanted soft blushing, brown eyeliner with small wings, and soft lips. I suggested making them look like she's wearing lip gloss with a tiny bit of shimmer in it. The client liked the idea and gave the go ahead! So here she is all pretty and cute. Vinyl is still such a different beast to work on as it's much more porous than resin. I seal a lot more before I even start on painting. Then here's the second face up I completed, a Crobidoll Daydream Lance Version 1 in normal skin. This client wanted much more dramatic eyes than the last one, with a fade from dark to a lighter blue. I even gave his eyelids a soft blue shimmer to complete is look.
He will be getting a full body blush too, but I'm waiting until next week to do so, to give myself the weekend off due to illness. At least my cough feels better today, but now I can't stop sneezing, so that's annoying too. Please don't forget that I still have my sale going on until the 15th! Buy one service, get another at 30% off! That's all from me for now, until next time! It's been a bit since I've last face upped, but I finally have some new work to show! This time I painted a Fairyland MNF Shushu in natural skin and even gave her a fresh manicure as her last was a nightmare to remove. Without further ado, onto some pictures! So here she is, she's gonna be styled as a pastel goth once back in my friend's hands. I had a lot of fun with brows making them so bushy and big, usually I do more delicate ones but her previous face up had bold brows too so I ran with it. And once again, lovely ombre lips of black and purple! One of my favorite color combinations for sure. She does have painted lip lines, they are just hard to see in the pictures from the gloss. The hands were fun too, I gave the ring-fingers an accent nail color to tie back into the face up colors. Also, my sale is still going. Heads/Parts do need to be ready to be sent my way, so please keep that in mind when contacting me for the "Buy 1, Get 1 30% Off" offer! Please don't hesitate to reach out for a commission, now is an excellent time to do so, there's very little that I'm unwilling to do customization-wise!
Until next time! |
